‘Nursing research culture’ in the context of clinical nursing practice: addressing a conceptual problem. (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2017, vol. 73(5) p. 1066-1074)

This research aims to report an analysis of the concept of nursing research culture in the context of clinical nursing practice. Results of the concept analysis identified five defining attributes of nursing research culture in the context of clinical nursing practice: strong monodisciplinary nursing professionalism, academic thinking and socialization, research use as a part of daily nursing practice, acceptance by colleagues and management and facilitation of resources from management and organization. Conclusion Although the method of concept analysis has been criticized and heavily debated, the development of nursing research cultures based on the defining attributes and antecedents of the concept will be important to emphasize evidence-based clinical nursing care.
